Description
Summary:
We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Design Engineer - OHE & SCADA to join our dynamic railway engineering team. This role is critical in
the design, development, and optimization of Overhead Equipment (OHE)
and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems for modern
railway and metro infrastructure. The ideal candidate will have a strong
foundation in both AC (1x25kV & 2x25kV & 2x25kV) and DC (750V) traction
power systems, with proven experience in railway system design,
particularly in metro and high-speed rail environments. You will play a
pivotal role in ensuring the safety, reliability, efficiency, and
compliance of electrification systems across complex rail networks. Your
work will directly impact the performance and scalability of
next-generation rail systems, contributing to seamless, sustainable, and
high-capacity urban and intercity transit solutions. This position
offers the opportunity to work on cutting-edge projects within a rapidly
evolving industry, where innovation and precision are paramount.
Responsibilities:
- Lead the design, developing, and optimization of Overhead Line Equipment (OHE) systems for 1x25kV and 2x25kV AC railway electrification networks.
- Develop and manage SCADA system architecture and integration for traction power supply networks, ensuring real-time monitoring, control, and fault detection.
- Prepare detailed technical specifications, design calculations, and engineering estimates for OHE and SCADA components.
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams including civil, mechanical, and electrical engineers to ensure seamless integration of OHE and SCADA systems within broader railway infrastructure.
- Conduct site assessments and feasibility studies for new electrification projects, particularly in metro and urban rail environments.
- Ensure compliance with international standards (IEC, IEEE, EN, etc.) and national railway regulations for electrical safety, performance, and reliability.
- Support tender documentation, technical evaluations, and vendor coordination for procurement of OHE and SCADA equipment.
- Perform system simulations and load-flow studies to validate design performance under varying operational conditions.
- Provide technical support during construction, commissioning, and handover phases, resolving design-related issues promptly.
- Stay current with emerging technologies and industry trends in railway electrification and smart grid integration for rail systems.
Eligibility Criteria
- Strong foundation in both AC (1x25kV & 2x25kV & 2x25kV) and DC (750V) traction power systems
- Proven experience in railway system design, particularly in metro and high-speed rail environments
- Experience with international standards (IEC, IEEE, EN, etc.) and national railway regulations for electrical safety, performance, and reliability
